We have some great mom tips for you today from darling brand ambassador Katie Emmons @katelaraine + a FUN $250 GIVEAWAY of some of her favorites. Her littlest is turning one this friday…so along with her, we are giving away a few favorites she could not live without for his 1st year. Meet Katie, beautiful mama of 3….

” My name is Katie, but you can call me Kate! I have been married to my
husband Eric for almost 9 years, and we have 3 sweet kiddos, Alivia
(6), Kingston (almost 5), and Maverick (11 months). My husband has
been in the military for 10 years, so we have lived in 4 different
states since we’ve been married. I love caramel macchiatos with
cinnamon on top, plants that don’t need too much attention, neutral
colors, and really good smells. I’m a night owl through and through,
and I really don’t like cooking. My greatest strength as a mother is
seeing my children’s emotional needs and guiding them through each
emotion so that they can better understand who they are and what makes
them “them”. I love deep meaningful conversations and would open my
heart and home to anyone that needs a shoulder to cry on, a big glass
of wine or coffee, or a night just to laugh and forget about the hard
stuff in life.”

Katie’s MOMS TIPS:

If I had any tips as a mom it would be to practice loving yourself the
way your children do. The more you can see yourself through their
eyes, the more confident you will be in your abilities as their mom.

Be sure to get out on your own every now and then. Go to target
after the kids go to bed and just breathe. Look at things that make
you happy, try on clothes that bring you joy, smell every single
candle on the shelf, just focus on you for a few hours, so you can
come back refreshed and able to give your family your best.

I definitely needed to hear this! I love her saying that your kids won’t remember how clean your house was but rather they’ll remember the time you intentionally spent with them and the memories made. Love your posts!

for sure amy! they will remember the joy they felt…kind of like at christmas from year to year…its hard to remember what you got or what you gave but they will remember the feelings of love and fun of spending time together…the true magic that lingers! xx thanks for entering

My insta handle is angelinamusatov and the tips that she gave are beautiful and more deep like giving yourself the love time so you can be a better mommy 💋😍💋🙌🏽 So good! Thank you Katie!! I’d loose to win this giveaway would be a huge blessing to be being a mommy of 2 under 2 😍 thank you soooooo much!!!! My secound one will be here in less than 3 months 😍

Sometimes we forget to take in the moment. Our children will not remember if the house was clean, but will remember if we (us parents) were happy. One of my news year resolutions is getting out and having me time. It’s so hard but necessary. Such a great read, thank you. @eli.eli.oh
